Shea It Isn't
Citi Field is costing the New York Mets -- and their opponents -- home runs in 2009
In order to hit a homer at Citi Field, you have to hit the ball a country mile.
Or at least that's what David Wright's fantasy owners might have you believe. A 33-homer hitter as recently as last season, the slugging No. 3 fantasy pick overall finds himself on pace for nine home runs in 2009.
But incredibly, in spite of his season-long power drought, Wright enters Saturday's play ranked the ninth-best player in all of fantasy baseball. He might not be the bopper the big spenders were expecting at the draft table, but he's getting the job done in other ways, and it's a product of his making adjustments to his game necessitated by his new home ballpark.
